Fraser MacIntyre Eliminated in 2nd Place (�290,000)
From the button, Fraser MacIntyre got his last 2.43 million into the middle with . He can't be faulted for shoving with a medium ace, but he ran into a better one. Frederik Jensen quickly looked him up, and his dominating had him five cards from an EPT title.
The flop changed nothing, and both players were standing nervously as they awaited the dealer's fate.
Turn:
Again, not much changed except the fact that MacIntyre was now looking for one of Jensen's tens as his only three outs. The dealer burned one more time and dropped the final card of the day on the deck.
River:
It was quite an effort for the Scot, stepping away from his day job as a pub and nightclub owner. Suppose that makes it more of a "night job", actually. In any event, this result is many times over larger than his previous best, a sub-�20,000 win in a side event at this past WSOPE. His efforts are even more impressive when you consider how he earned his ticket to this event, via the Steps satellites on PokerStars. His efforts have come up just that short of his goal, but he's managed to parlay that little investment into �290,000 in cash in just five days' time.
